I love maca! I use it in my smoothies with banana, almond mylk and fruit or raw cacao etc. I did try a recipe once that called for a tablespoon of maca and I just want to say...my digestive system went very haywire for a while. So I stick to 1 tsp. and nothing more for me. Maybe the recipe was a typo which I told the person who had it on their website but they never responded. Some of us are more sensitive with out tummies.
